Hi. Spaff here.
This week I received a few requests to resurrect some lyrics I wrote about Osama bin Laden back in September, 2001. Why this week, who knows.
In reviewing the song, however, I realized that it needed some revising. That is because, compared to a decade ago, bin Laden is now significantly more dead.
So here's the rewrite. You'll never guess what it's a parody of.
M. Spaff Sumsion: Concept and lyrics
Robert Lund: All vocals, music, and production

Very nice update.

How topically appropriate! :-)

It almost seems wrong to laugh at this song. But it still made me giggle. Nicely done.

Beautifully done, as always. I prefer not to celebrate... but if I were gonna celebrate, I'd have this song playing for 24 hours straight.

Well done guys! Good timing.

Love it!!! What more can I say?!?

Heh, I knew there'd be a Spaff song bumping everyone else's out of the way after that happened. :P
Keep rockin the topical parodies.

The update is Spafftastic! Even better though, was reading the comments on AmIRight to your original version (and your replies). Adam's comment above was right on the money.

Spafftastic indeed - and I knew what song it was as soon as I saw the title. I'd say this rivals "Shari Bobbins" for best Mary Poppins parody ever.

Nicely done, as always. I like this version even more than your original take, which was awesome to begin with.
